Low event offseason looms over the Jets

The Jets didn't make many move to bolster their depth compared to other teams within the central division. In addition, the Jets are positioned to face struggles and an uphill battle to even make the playoffs, let alone be top contenders. Unless a deep post-season run happens with this current roster you can expect many large scale changes coming throughout the organization next offseason.

The Winnipeg Jets for the past two seasons finished with a combined 98 wins, and this past season finished 2nd overall in the Central Division. The 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs was different story across the board, with the team only winning just one post-season game in each of the past two years.

Veteran forwards Sean Monahan and Tyler Toffoli, defenseman Brenden Dillon and goaltender Laurent Brossoit were lost to free agency this offseason. In their place come goalies Eric Comrie and Kaapo Kahkonen. In addition, blue-liners Colin Miller, Haydn Fleury, and forwards Jaret Anderson-Dolan and Mason Shaw entered the mix as well. These off-season acquisitions don't improve the teams depth as it did in previous campaigns.

One thing is clear, The Winnipeg Jets organizations has some top end talent. With stellar performances from top players such as Connor, Hellebuyck, Scheifele, and Ehlers, anything is possible. The possibility of added depth at the trade deadline can push this team to the playoffs as well. Winnipeg also has admirable depth regarding their forwards and defence, but once you compare their offseason to how the other Central teams have improved this summer, the Jets seem like they could potentially take a step back this coming season.
